The Body Language Project: Dating, Attraction and Sexual ... - Wuala

Here Scarlet has moved directly in front of Dave after approaching him. She is comfortable because she is directly facing him but
still shows some timidity. This is evident because she is holding her hands and arms out and in front of herself. Dave has a great open
body posture. His legs are open slightly and his arms are apart. His left hand is in fair proximity to Scarlett and could serve to escalate
the intimacy with some fleeting touches.
Dave is striking out here again. He is trying to escalate
intimacy by whispering. The only problem is that Scarlett is
not interested and instead of leaning in to shrink the distance
between them and actually hear what Dave is saying, she is
leaning backwards giving off all sorts of indicators of
disinterest. Scarlett will most likely resume her conversation
with her other friends once she humours him with a false laugh.
Now Dave has Scarlett where he wants her. Dave is using his
body language teasingly to block Scarlett out and is scanning the
room as if she wasn’t the most important girl. He thinks she is,
but he doesn’t make it obvious to her. Scarlett, on the other
hand, is hook, line and sinker for Dave. She is leaning around
him trying to regain his attention, has her arms open, and is even
thrusting her chest forward into Dave. Dave has his hands out
of his pockets showing that he is comfortable in his
environment.
